Spring Training: Week 4
We didn't end the Spring well, dropping four of the last five to finish a rough 10-14. That made us tied with the Stars for 6th, but as long as we win games in the regular season, I think I'll be okay. Harry Parker, Milt Fritz, and Eddie Quinn each tossed a "shutout" with Parker allowing 6 hits and a walk with a strikeout while Quinn totaled 2 hits, walks, and strikeouts, and Fritz walks 2 and struck out one. Pete Papenfus had a rough start, 4 hits, 4 runs, and 4 walks with two strikeouts. Same goes for Dick Lyons, 7 hits, 5 runs (4 earned), 2 walks, and a strikeout. Cal Knight lost two games, 4 innings with 6 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), 3 walks, and a strikeout. Joe Brown went 4 with 2 hits, a run, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Allen Purvis allowed 5 hits and 4 runs (2 earned) with a walk and strikeout. Rusty Watts exploded, 5 hits, 6 runs, 3 walks, and 2 strikeouts in 1.2 innings.
Leo Mitchell and Leon Drake had rough weeks, 1-for-13 and 1-for-12, with Mitchell at least hitting a two run homer. Billy Hunter and John Lawson were both 4-for-10 with, Hunter hitting a pair of doubles. Carlos Montes was hitless in his ten PAs. Oscar King and Freddie Jones were both 2-for-10. Rich Langton was 5-for-10 with a double, homer, and 3 RBIs. Ray Ford was 3-for-7 with 3 walks, a homer, and 4 RBIs. None of our bats had more then 15 at bats, but each guy left in camp had at least one trip to the plate. Our sim tomorrow brings us to Opening Day, but we don't have any regular season games until Monday.
